Xmas for the foodee!
Happy Holidays Folks!
I hope everyone had an excellent holiday and is ready to get back into the groove of life again. We had a perfect vacation that involved doing virtually nothing. I didn't even spark up the smoker, believe it or not. Of course, that had something to do with the RAIN we had most of the week. I hate rain in winter. It just ain't right. But, enough about the weather - lets talk about Xmas!
My wife surprised me with an absolutely excellent Christmas gift that will be just great for summer parties and the Harpoon BBQ event. She got me a Camper Kitchen from Cabela's. Check out the pic:
The unit is six feet wide, has pantry cabinets under the wings and even hanging hooks for lamps! It was a wonderful surprise. I'm already salivating over the thought of having it at this summer's BBQ competition. I was planning on buying more tables, but now I won't need so many - plus I've got storage and opportunities to be better organized that I didn't have before!
We also got a brilliant surprise gift from my younger brother - three Henkles Pro S knives!
He gave us a small cleaver, 6" chef's knife and a larger chef's knife that will arrive soon. I honestly had no idea how crappy our knives were. I mean, I knew they weren't chef-grade knives, but man-o-man are these new knives terrific!
There were other gifts as well, but most of them weren't centered around my passion for food. All in all it was a stellar holiday and a darned good vacation. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and that life brings you good luck in the new year!
I think it's time for Barbecue!
Best,
Chris
